Abstract

A rear-view mirror assembly, e.g. for use by a motor on towing a trailer, comprises a base member adapted to be adjustably secured to a side panel (32) of the vehicle body without piercing such panel, an arm (12) mounting on a central zone of the base member (18) for pivotal movement about a substantially vertical axis under the effect of a predetermined force and a mirror head (10) mounted on the arm. The base member comprises a first limb (36) extending upwardly from the central zone and having a hooklike formation (38) for engaging with a horizontally extending, inwardly facing edge (40) of said side panel, and second and third arms (24 and 26) extending substantially horizontally from said central zone in opposite directions so as to abut the side panel (32). An elastic strap (42) extends downward­ ly from said central zone and has a hook (46) on its free end to engage under a bottom edge (48) of the panel (32).
